There are many notable institutions mentioned in the HERD Survey, and also several universities and institutions that have provided their perspective about what the HERD Survey data means to them. Here is a quick roundup of institutions that have commented on the HERD Survey itself and what they think about it:
There are several important reasons why institutions like these institutions choose to participate in the HERD Survey, but the most important reason is that participating in this survey helps NSF obtain the most accurate research and development data within higher education while also giving these institutions a change to see their rank and competition. Institutions that benchmark their R&D efforts against their peer universities can improve their strategic planning as well as prioritize their future research focus areas.
It is of value to note that participating in the survey can improve an institution’s reputation by underlining its commitment to research and development in higher education. The HERD Survey is a great resource to showcase a university’s research capabilities, too. If used correctly, the survey can and will act as a strategic and valuable tool for both enhancing internal planning and management as well as expanding external reporting and research funding.
As mentioned elsewhere, The Higher Education Research and Development (HERD) Survey is an insightful resource for research administrators as well as institutions. It is conducted annually by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States. This survey provides extensive data on research and development expenditures at U.S. based universities and colleges. Understanding and applying the knowledge gained by the HERD Survey to its full potential is crucial for institutions that want to make data-informed decisions to advance their research agendas.
HERD Survey data can be a critical assessment tool for participating instiutions, others in the field of academia, sponsors, and the general public.
